Sold Out reveals PAX East 2020 lineup, announces Disjunction and Gestalt: Steam & Cinder for Switch

Video games publisher Sold Out is bringing its biggest ever lineup of titles to PAX East later this month, featuring playable demos for five uniquely different games, including three brand new titles joining the Sold Out family.

The three new titles – stealth-action sci-fi RPG Disjunction, steampunk action-adventure Gestalt: Steam & Cinder, and adorable co-op postal puzzler KeyWe – will feature alongside the highly anticipated music-based action-adventure No Straight Roads and hare-raising action-arcade game Radical Rabbit Stew, marking Sold Out’s largest ever presence at the show.

PAX attendees are invited to go hands-on with all five games at booth #30071 when the show kicks off Thursday, Feb. 27 through Sunday, March 1.

Disjunction (PlayStation®4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch™, PC)

Set in the dystopian underworld of a near-futuristic New York City, Disjunction is a single-player, cyberpunk, stealth-action RPG that follows the intertwined narratives of three characters as they unravel a mystery that will change the fate of their city.

A classic RPG featuring hardcore stealth-action mechanics and a reactive story where your choices have real consequences, Disjunction gives players the freedom to take the gameplay approach that suits their playstyle: blasting through levels in brutal fast-paced combat, or sneaking around encounters to avoid confrontation.

Key Features

Challenging stealth-action gameplay that lets you play the way that suits your style, whether it’s sneaking through levels or attacking head-on.

30-plus handcrafted non-linear levels.

Three playable characters, each with individual abilities, cybernetic upgrades and talents to customize your playstyle.

A reactive story where the player’s choices have real consequences.

Stylized pixel art environments and characters.

Atmospheric musical score by composer Dan Farley.
